Rhett Honored

The nation

September 14, 1992

FLORIDA TAILBACK Errict Rhett, who rushed for a career-high 193 yards and one touchdown on 33 carries in the Gators' 35-19 victory over Kentucky on Saturday, was named Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Week. Rhett also caught seven passes for 50 yards.

Arkansas cornerback Orlando Watters earned the SEC's top defensive award. Watters returned a punt 87 yards for a touchdown and an interception 45 yards for another, the first Razorback players in history to do so in the same game. He also returned an onside kick 39 yards to set up another score in a 45-7 victory over South Carolina.

COOK OUT FOR SEASON

WAYNE COOK surpassed expectations in his first start at quarterback for UCLA, but he won't be around to complete the job. Cook suffered two torn ligaments in his right knee late in the second quarter of UCLA's 37-14 season-opening victory over Cal State-Fullerton on Saturday night and will undergo surgery today at UCLA Medical Center.

Before his injury, Cook completed eight of 13 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown without being intercepted. Cook, a sophomore, had taken over as the Bruins' at quarterback for UCLA from Tommy Maddox, who passed up his final two years of eligibility to turn pro.

Rob Walker, a redshirt freshman, followed Cook and completed 5 of 12 passes for 58 yards. UCLA coach Terry Donahue said Walker will start Saturday when the 15th-ranked Bruins play at Brigham Young.
